Dean Brewster
Director / Project Manager
Qualified Carpenter, Licensed Building Practitioner and Registered Master Builder
​
I have more than 20 years experience in the building industry, beginning on garages and beach batches and progressing to award-winning architectural homes and large scale extensions and renovations.

After two years in London working on extensive, large scale architectural re-modelling projects, I returned to Christchurch and established Brewster Building in 2012.

Outside of work I enjoy fishing, a good book, camping and boating.

Qualified Carpenter
​
Building is something I’m really passionate about, particularly the eco-efficient side of things. I really enjoy looking back at the end of the day to see progress physically.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy fishing and hunting and the outdoors. One day, I’d like to travel back to the USA to see more places and go to the US Golf Open.

Vaughan Thomson
Apprentice Carpenter
​
I'm passionate about carpentry and like seeing the visual progress throughout a build. I enjoy learning about all the different ways of the trade.

In my spare time you'll catch me playing a variety of different sports. Whether it be competitive or social I'm always up for a challenge.

Helen Brewster
Business Administrator
​
I graduated from the University of Canterbury with degrees in Law and Psychology and was admitted to the bar, then worked in a tax advisory role before travelling with Dean to the UK for two years.

Returning to NZ and then with two young children, I started to work with Dean in Brewster Building. While I still do some tax consulting work, the bulk of my time is now invested in working with Dean, assisting with business systems, accounting and administration.

Outside of work, I enjoy camping, running and social sport. We have recently moved to a semi-rural property, so I am developing my gardening and animal rearing skills.​
